Spring Budget 2023 representation
The NHS Confederation's submission to HM Treasury ahead of the Spring Budget on 15 March.
In the 2021 Spending Review, the government announced that the health and care system would receive a £36 billion funding settlement over the next three years. Nearly 18 months on from what was billed ‘a record investment’, spiralling inflation has reduced the real amount of money the service receives, while demand continues to bring unsustainable pressure on the service.
Ahead of the 2023 Spring Budget, we have set out six areas where our members need to see further and faster progress:
- capital funding
- service funding
- workforce
- social care
- public health
- mental health.
